Jimmy Butler made his 76ers debut this week and they went 2-1 winning against the Utah Jazz and Charlotte Hornets on back to back nights. Butler hit the game-winning three in OT last night against the Hornets. There was some drama between Kevin Durant and Draymond Green as the two had a heated verbal exchange in the overtime loss against the Los Angeles Clippers. Green was suspended the very next game for the verbal exchange.

The Milwaukee Bucks, take over the top spot this week as the Toronto Raptors had a tough week losing three game in a row. The Bucks, lead the league in points per game averaging 121.1 per game and the New Orleans Pelicans come in second averaging 118.2 and the Golden State Warriors very close third averaging 118. The Phoenix Suns, Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers are in the bottom three in scoring with the Suns averaging the least at 102.1 per game.

The Bucks (+11.4), Raptors (8.4) and Warriors (7.2) are the top three teams in team average scoring margin/point differential. The bottom three are the Phoenix Suns (-11.1), Atlanta Hawks (-11.1) and Chicago Bulls (-10.4).
